OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Water and Climate Change: Adaptation at the Margins
The impacts of climate change will largely be felt through water.
Droughts, floods, storms, and extreme events are becoming more frequent and intense. The entire water cycle is becoming unpredictable, impacting people’s daily lives and livelihoods, especially those of poor and marginalised communities. Science plays a central role in informing decision-makers about the impacts of climate change and supporting adaptation to those changes. Meanwhile, we know some critical barriers to adaptation remain social, political, and financial.
What is the role of climate science in supporting adaptation to climate change for poor, vulnerable, and marginalised communities? Leading researchers and practitioners at the forefront of climate adaptation will reflect on the social and political barriers to producing, sharing, and using climate information, and on how it should be interpreted, accessed, and applied. They will discuss the needs and challenges faced by marginalised communities and how to ensure these communities have a say in adaptation decision-making.
